I have been into the outdoors since childhood. I started taking my first 4x4 on extended camping trips in 1989 (probably before 'overlanding' became a thing here in the USA, we just called it truck camping). My wife and I spend as much time in the backcountry as our schedules allows and our three dogs always accompany us.
The majority of our trips are short & local, spending a lot of time here in southern NM in the Gila National Forest and Sacramento Mountains. We do try to take a week-long trip at least once a year but that doesn't always work out so it's usually long weekends out & about. I volunteer with Team Rubicon doing disaster response and my wife works with the Girl Scouts full time, training adult troop leaders and their troops in outdoor skills.
2006 Toyota Tacoma DCSB TRD Sport. 3" lift, 285/70/17 BFG KM3's, homebuilt rock sliders & cargo rack/basket. TJM Front bumper (modified) with a 12k winch. Custom self-built rear bumper system with swing out tire and fuel can carriers. ViAir OBA system. More mods coming.
